BrowserMetrics
There is a folder %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\BrowserMetrics with thousands of 4 MB files like BrowserMetrics-5D3A8F5A-1AF0.pma that fill up my precious SSD disk space. Can I remove ...
Have you sent feedback using feedback button on Edge?
sending machine logs using feedback button is the only useful way to let developers know you are having this issue.

I am having the same issue. Got a low disk warning on a drive that never normally runs out of space, and the browser metrics folder is just full of gigabytes of 4mb .pma files. I sent a feedback note to MS through Edge. I also attempted the registry fix as outlined above but that has had no effect. Edge is unusable if it's just going to eat HD space.

If folks seeing this again could confirm their version as well, I'll ping the team on my side to take a look. Thanks for reporting this in the browser as that allows us to look at detailed diagnostics! 😃- Alexandra-RI went ahead and flagged this to the team to take a look over the weekend, they're investigating this and have let me know that the policy won’t do anything anymore since it’s been obsoleted in 89. However, folks can delete the folder as a workaround while we figure this out (make sure Edge isn’t running when you delete the folder).
If you could still confirm the version you're seeing this in, we'd appreciate it!
-AlexThanks Alex,
Version 89.0.774.50 (Official build) (64-bit) - Folder is currently sat at around 35GB, it's dropped as low as 2.5GB but has ballooned as high as 179GB which filled the SSD.
